We had a wonderful time at Deanne’s casita. I the location was perfect for us. It was great to be close to the city (trader Joe’s, sprouts, Whole Foods are a few minutes away) and yet feel far from it. The neighborhood was really nice for walking our dogs. We did a lot of hiking and we found Deanne’s casita to be close to a number of dog friendly trails..Catalina State Park, Oracle State Park, the wild burro loop in Marana, and Sweetwater Preserve. Also, if you have doggies, check out DeGrazia’s Art Gallery in the sun..a 14 minute drive from the casita and pups are welcomed inside. Oro Valley has a farmers’ market and concerts in the park. Deanie was a very nice host and the casita was clean. If you’re considering her rental, I highly suggest that you book a reservation.
